In all the excitment of Daytona, I forgot to mention that the Techs at the Harley booth said that there will be a software update released next week. They said to check the HD site.

Did they say what the gains were supposed to be?

(and if it was any less buggy than the last release?)

You sure do want a lot.

I specifically asked them that question and their answer was that they did not know! This was from the same guy that didn't know why my Bluetooth did not work.

That's the kind of technical advice that has to make a guy feel all warm and fuzzy  .

AJ,

Can you give any details? I'm interested in the BT, but want something that works.

Chief, BT is the way to go! You just need to find a phone that is compatible. Do NOT rely on the HD web page! I'll ask a few people this week that have BT phones to see if I can pair and see the phone book. That is the problem. The phone & module will pair but the module says "software not downloadable". That means that the phonebook cannot be displayed on the radio screen. The problem lies in that you now have no way to dial out. Incoming calls are fine and caller ID is dispalyed fine. What I'm doing now is pairing the two, dialing a number from the phone, connecting the bike then putting the phone back in the glove box. The Razor works well but I don't know of any others. I am considering switching carriers to get this working right. Hope this helps, AJ

OK, just a pairing problem. That's good to hear. Have you tried pairing with the phone in a shirt pocket or other location other than the glove boxes? Mine are in the process of being converted to speaker boxes, so I'm losing that space.

I have both a Motorola V phone and a Treo 700W.  They both work and I find that although a bit of a hassle they pair best when I chuck them in the tour pak.  I have the stock Bluetooth location.

If it pairs, even without the phonebook, you should be able to use "Number Dial" with the bike's system and it dials through the phone.  Neither of my phonebooks from the phones sync, but I only care about receiving and calling home when I'm on the bike.  I can at least remember my home and work numbers.

Redial also works on my bike with the phones that don't sync the phonebook.

I should have been clearer. Without the TP installed, I would be installing in the fairing. I don't know where I could put the phone to get it closer if it won't pair while being on my body.

This is why we need a good windshield bag that works with the dash pad.  I always carried my phone and keys etc. in the dash box on my Ultra, but it won't fit well on the SEUC.  Kinda pizzes a guy off that the MoCo can't make a model specific set up for the SEEG/SEUC bikes with the dash pad.

I also find that if i hold the phone near the tour pak and pair it before I launch I can then stuff it in a pocket/etc. and it remains paired.

I totally agree. We've taken a big step backwards in usability with this new bike. Smaller tourpak with more gadgetry to take up space, smaller TP rack and no windshield pouches. I'm not sure how we're going to carry the same amount we used to put on the previous bike.

The lower fairings would help, but I cannabalized them for speakers. That's my fault, maybe I'll make those hot-swappable for long trips when we'd have the TP installed.

I have version 8.18 but haven't installed it yet. Not sure what has changed.

How did you get the new version?

I can't really say.
